Thank you for showing how Effren holds his cue while shooting,it explains how he maintains the speed of his shot, control of the cue ball,thank you I needed that.
The softer you hold you cue the straightener the cue glides..beaking you againg hold it gently now the cue is dead weight to break harder with less effort..I was a child prodigy but in the back country in Puerto Rico I didn't know there were tournaments so I went to college instead...now at 72 people wonder why me a businessman can shoot shots that seem impossible 😅
@@dibber43 Greenleaf ran 309 balls on a 10 foot table!.. With ivory balls, and ancient felt.. lol.. Have you seen anyone today do that?.. With perfect equipment and advanced cue technology?.. lol.. The closest anyone has come is 225 balls..
I've never seen Johnny Archer so un-assure of himself. Gets down to shoot, then lifts up and stops, then he does it again, and again. I have seen him do it 4 times in a row, don't know what his problem is. He is a world class pool player, play with some confidence Johnny.-Ron Cerelli The Legend.
"You've made a hat! That's maaarvelous!" @19:20 (from Steve to Jerry, about his digital drawing on the televised pool table) "I don't think he wants to play the combination... OR the combinition..." 😂👌🏼@23:54 Omg these announcers are so great lol. Also, from around 9:50 - 10:08, an instrumental version of "Guess Who's Back" by Eminem starts playing... it's shocking and amazing at the same time. Then you see Efren shoot the camera a glance as the song fades out on the song's lyrical correspondence of "Guess who's back... back again..." 😎Major kudos to whomever edited that in.
@Kilnmaster I like to learn how to play pool so I started watching TH-cam. I just learned about Efren maybe six months ago and I saw almost the whole world pool people like him because of his pool skills plus his personalities. I suggest you should learn more about him.
@thedevilinthecircuit1414 actually, back in the day he had to give his left hand game the 7 in 9ball and was breaking even. And to those who don't know much about that level of pool,,,, you can call it even. And to us who know,,, GOD DAMN!!!!

Steve davis does well as a commentator in pool. He admits hes not a pool player and doesn't know the patterns but his enthusiasm for the game is awesome
But he knows the sport and winning, his claim of not being a pool player is mostly unjust, his top level ability hasn't translated to the small table unfortunately. He and Jim Wych are the two best commentators in pool; the rest I painfully tolerate...
Archer was definitely nervous. The pockets were tighter than they both thought! There's no other reason. Archer was nervous! He was definitely playing good pool, but I think Efren wasn't going to let Archer win the match! You could see it on his Efren's face. Nice win, Efren! 💖 watching you play! God bless! 💙🎱!
I figured out how Archer became a No. 1 player - by the time he takes his shot & sweeps away imaginary dust & picks lint that isn't there, the other player has fallen into a deep sleep & loses his mind & coordination
1:04:37 that's one of the most irritating things in pool, that sharp of a angle to where you gotta cut it thin and it over cut DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!🤣🤣🤣 when shit like that happen I be thinking damn I didn't know that shit was possible
Interesting to hear them talk about how they thought wood shafts would be gone by now in 2003. Looks like it’s finally starting to happen with all the carbon fiber shafts.
IMO, the best 9-ball players of the last 50 years?.. 1. Buddy Hall 2. Nick Varner 3. Mike Sigel 4. Earl Strickland 5. Johnny Archer 6. Efren Reyes.. And I’m not including van Boening or Orcullo, who are still playing..
Phenolic resin and they are molded from true sphere casts with a vacuum seal to prevent air pockets and imperfections from bubbling on the material. The balls then get machine polished and inspected.
I think he meant that he was surprised at the distance between the cue ball and the 6 is because Efren is so good. And he's right. 9.5 times out of 10, Efren makes a better shot than that one. I can make a better shot than that, too; though, I can probably do it about 6.5/10. Maybe less. LOL.
@@MCFoultier hey cue ball I didn't say they don't praise him I said in that game against Archer they struggled to praise him..they made excuses for Archer instead of calling Efrems great positional shots..at times the comments are about themselves meantime Efrem is shooting himself out of impossible situations...Steve Mizerak listen to him comment an Efrem game it a thing of beauty expertly done by a Hall of Famer
Johnny Archer does stuff in a pool game that makes you want to just smack him,it's ridiculous, he has clean the ball, get ever imagined spot off the table,sight the shot for a hour,it's sad.
I love when the commentators say things like “ looks like he (Efren) is going to have trouble with the 5 ball” (after sinking the 4 ball then he just simply stops it where it’s directly in line with the 5 ball for an easy shot). This tells me the commentators are SOOOOO far below Efrens skill level that they couldn’t see the easy positioning for the 5 ball. Maybe it’s best to just keep your lack of experience to yourselves instead of announcing to everyone how LITTLE you know about the strategic positioning of the cue ball for the next shot.

Efren seems to be having trouble with his eyes. You all have told us about that previously. I believe that his vision problems do cause the angles to be off.

It's the weird style with parentheses. It's out of 17 racks and who gets the majority of racks. It's a race to 9 with a possible seventeen racks that can be played, if it goes hill-hill, that would be 16 of the possible racks and the 17th rack is the last rack to decide who wins.
Y’all wanna hear a funny story about Johnny Archer?.. Well, that involves Johnny, at least.. It was 2007, I think, Johnny was down on his luck, and he and I and my brother and our friend were having breakfast in Chattanooga, I believe?.. And Johnny was talking about his troubles... My brother and I were sympathetic, and speechless.. As if on cue, our friend Tom tells Johnny to cheer up, and remember... You were player of the 1990’s’.. Johnny said thanks, then went back to eating his cereal.. lol..

Two of the only acceptable commentators in my opinion. Steven Davis is absolutely wonderful in the booth.

Would like to see the 30-second shot clock used in all professional matches. Pro players should be able to make a shot within that time period.

I hold my cue similar to Efren on the break, but at the second of contact, I’m quite grippy. I feel like he probably is too.
